SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 850X 8TB NVMe SSD drops to $2649.99

A $650 discount that's hard to ignore. An 8TB Gen4 NVMe drive running at 7,300 MB/s read speeds doesn't come cheap, but this is the lowest price it has ever hit. SANDISK Optimus GX PRO 850X NVMe SSD drops to $2649.99 - save $650. That 20% cut brings the cost per terabyte down to roughly $331, which is uncommon for top-tier PCIe 4.0 storage at this capacity.

This is the all-time low for the 8TB model, undercutting both the 30-day average of $2,669.30 and the 90-day average of $2,752.26. The drive has only touched this price point once before, making it a rare chance to pick up SANDISK's flagship consumer NVMe at a genuine discount.

What You're Getting

The Optimus GX PRO 850X is a PCIe Gen 4.0 drive with sequential read/write speeds up to 7,300/6,600 MB/s on the 2TB and 4TB models, and random read/write performance up to 1.2M/1.2M IOPS on this 8TB version. It integrates SANDISK nCache 4.0 technology for sustained throughput and supports Microsoft DirectStorage for faster game asset loading. The drive uses BiCS TLC 3D NAND with an endurance rating of up to 4,800 TBW, and includes TCG Opal v2.01 data-at-rest encryption. The SANDISK Dashboard software (Windows) adds drive health monitoring and a Game Mode toggle.

Who This Is For

This is for PC builders and creative professionals who need high-capacity Gen4 storage without stepping up to Gen5 pricing. The 8TB capacity means no juggling game installs or project files across multiple drives.

If you are running a PS5 or a workstation that can use the full PCIe 4.0 bandwidth, this drive delivers. Gamers who want DirectStorage support and creators who need high TBW endurance get the most value here.

Anyone on a tight budget or still on PCIe 3.0 hardware should consider a lower-capacity or slower drive instead.

Final Verdict

At $2,649.99, this matches the lowest price the 8TB 850X has ever seen. If you need massive NVMe storage with top-tier read speeds and do not want to wait for Gen5 prices to drop further. This is the moment to buy. The $650 savings off list price makes it one of the better deals on high-capacity Gen4 SSDs right now.
